Good evening fellow Gentlemen!

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Omega boar # 81052
Soap: Van der Hagen / Palmolive / totally forgot all about the glycerine
Razor: Erik Anton Berg, 4/8 1/4 hollow french point
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Lavender spice, house blend
Notes: First time I shaved with this feisty swede after honing. Decided I deserved an uberlather to go with it. Lovely shaver, still just a tad harsh so it will have a thorough encounter with mister Strop before it's next merry go-round.

You're welcome buddy. Sorry it wasn't quite up to snuff when going XTG. Either too sharp or not enough (my guess)

Béla,
Sorry to hear...it caught me a bit by surprise though (I have heard many nice things about just the scent). But I will take your word

That's right Konstantinos...keep rubbing it in, LOL. Sounds like you're having a grand old time in Athens. Good shave today too

Oouuccccch brother...I feel your pain and frustration. Hang in there. It's bound to be better tomorrow. These kinds of days do happen.

Wowww Sten,
A 4/8", 1/4 hollow? Sounds like one sweet blade with a major attitude. If she still feels a bit harsh (especially on 1/4 hollows), stay on the bevel setting stone a bit longer (just my 2 cents). Her bevel may not be quite there yet.

It's killing me Robert. I may break down and do an evening shave....

See Jeff is behind me. Or is he saying there is no chance?

No chance you'll stop RAD.

Sorry I missed some posts, been a bit busy at work.

Tonight's shave started with a welcome hot shower and Stephan's rubbed into my whiskers.
Warm Oil
Dirt Bird Scuttle
Badger Brush
Cade Shave Cream
Fromm by Max
SRD P1 50 Felt 75 leather
AOS Aluminum
Pinaud Bay Rum
Vaseline for Men

Great shave tonight. Took off two day growth. I tired to get a good picture of the scales Max put on this razor but once again my photography skills are not up to par. The picture does not do the color of the horn any justice.

Enjoy the evening.
